Thank you for contacting DV LEAP. We provide legal representation in appeals and assistance with amicus briefs only in appeals of final orders. We also provides limited resources for survivors of domestic violence who are not seeking to appeal a final order. Please complete the application below that best meets your needs.
PLEASE NOTE: If you are seeking assistance for an APPEAL or AMICUS BRIEF, we are temporarily accepting applications ONLY in the following jurisdictions: ILLINOIS, MARYLAND, MASSACHUSETTS, NEW YORK, TEXAS, VIRGINIA, and the DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA.  This is to ensure our capacity to deliver the quality of services our mission and professional standards require. We hope to be able to resume national scope appellate services in the near future.
_{All of your information will be kept confidential. After you submit your application, DV LEAP will follow up by email about whether we can provide further assistance.  While we are reviewing your case, DV LEAP is not your lawyer and cannot give you advice about what to do in your case.  Until and unless DV LEAP agrees to represent you, we cannot help you fill out forms, file paperwork to appeal your case, or follow any deadlines in your case.}

DV LEAP services are equally available to everyone regardless of race, color, creed, gender (including gender identity and gender expression), religion, marital status, registered domestic partner status, age, national origin or ancestry, immigration status, physical or mental disability, medical condition, sex, genetic information, sexual orientation, and military and veteran status.
